ICYMI--Michael Mann To Be Climate Cornholed With His Hockey Stick

As if it weren't bad enough that Steve McIntyre has taken apart his formal pleading in his "defamation" case against Mark Steyn and found it filled with lies about how his work was scientifically exonerated by a host of unimpeachable sources, Mann has a much larger problem--and it's all his doing.
You see, before he was stupid enough to sue Steyn, Mann sued Dr. Timothy Ball...in Canada where he hoped the Orwellian speech police tribunal (which Steyn dismantled in another lawsuit) would find that Ball's comments on Mann faking his Hockey Stick data were libelous.
Operating on the premise that the truth is a defense against libel, and with clarity of thought foreign to most American legislators, the Canadian court ordered Mann to produce his metadata--you know, the same metadata he and UVA spent millions to keep hidden from Ken Cuccinelli--Mann refused, repeatedly.
Last week, the court ruled him in default--meaning Ball wins. It also means Ball can call him a lying, junk-science charlatan because he has the backing of a court ruling.
Oh yeah, one more thing--it means Ball can counter sue for damages. He hasn't yet, but Steyn has--for $10 million. Mwuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Well, Ball would get the first bite--his suit is older--and not just at Mann, but also at his flu$h backer$, including David $uzuki. Bwuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
It doesn't get much better than that.

UPDATE: From Mikey's Facebook page, where his lawyer says Sullivan is full of shit.

Can't wait to see him on a freeway offramp with a "Will fabricate data to shill for your cause for food" sign.

Eric--If you do, speed up and veer towards him so he jumps over the side.
You can say later the models predicted rising sea levels would cushion the fall.

Thanks for the Twitter follow Mr. Green. Bad news for Michael Mann is good news for sanity.

Oops. Seems that the Victory celebration might need to be postponed...

Steve McIntyre is reporting that the Mann vs Ball lawsuit is still in Discovery phase, and that the BC Supreme Court has NOT dismissed it.
Damn.

Watts recommends taking posts from Principia with a grain of salt, lots of dubious posts there.

Yeah. Sullivan is often full of shit. I saw it a Junk Science too, but only later realized Malloy's source was Sullivan too.
One of those "too good not to post" errors.
I've made them before.

Well, damn. I was about to bust out in a robust shout of "HUZZAH!, but it seems that it would have been as premature as Mikey Mann's ejaculation would be if he ever got a glimpse of a real vagina, up close and personal.

I guess we'll have to wait until he's found in default for real, since there's no way in the 9 Circles of Cthulhu's Rectum that he'll ever reveal his fraudulent metadata.

I feel a 10th magnitude Shadenboner coming on!

In junior high school, I was led to believe that .035% was considered
"Trace amounts." I have been a proud denier for decades. Starting
with Al Gore, I began to smell a scientific rat that made the
Piltdown Man look like sound science!

Please allow me to wrap the handle of the hockey stick with some 40
grit sandpaper. When they slide it into his cornhole, I hope they
skip the KY jelly!
